Fathers: A Collection of Poems

One hundred and eighteen of our finest American poets pay eloquent homage to their fathers and the broader concept of fatherhood in this loving anthology. In this splendid collection both daughters and sons introduce us and pay heartfelt tribute to their fathers. Whether writing of fathers who were heroes or anti-heros, defenders or pacifists, those who went away suddenly or those who reappeared after a long period of time, the poets here cast the net wide to harvest the infinite variety of the father-and-child relationship. This moving anthology includes: Raymond Carver's "The Trestle", Gwendolyn Brooks's "In Honor of David Anderson Brooks, My Father", Rita Dove's "Grape Sherbert", Robert Hayden's "Those Winter Sundays", Donald Justice's "Men at Forty", Hayden Carruth's "Words for My Daughter from the Asylum", Maxine Kumin's "My Father's Neckties", "Robert Bly's "My Father at Eighty-Fiver"

The Maharani’s New Wall and Other Poems (Wesleyan Poetry Series)

Gathering firewood; new poems and selected (The Wesleyan poetry program, v. 75)

Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, these poems written in India confront a variety of cultural issues and an American's response to places, rituals, individuals and historical figures. The dramatic title poem, which could serve for a movie script, deals with a Maharani's building a great wall which shuts peasants out of their ancestral territory. "David Ray's depictions and evaluations of Indian life are enthralling," wrote Richard Eberhart.
